Whine time: I'm so sick of being sick
|
I caught a cold after Thanksgiving that I haven't been able to shake. The usual otc stuff makes me feel better for a little while but then the cold (or whatever it is) flares up again. This wouldn't be so bad if not for the chronic bronchitis and asthma. When my lungs and head get full of phlegm my inhaler and nasal sprays aren't effective so I'm nearly always out of breath. I was given prednisone which helps when the pressure in my chest gets bad but I can't keep taking that because I can't sleep when I'm on it. Last week the doctor prescribed an antibiotic, pretty much saying "well, this might help but probably won't but it won't hurt." That gave me diarrhea. So I'm home for the third day this round.
End whine.
